About
I grew up in Northern California’s Sacramento Valley where I spent my childhood loving small town life. At 21, I moved to the Bay Area where my interests developed in a lot of ways.
I was presented with the rare opportunity to organize events for the Silicon Valley portion of an international film festival where I was immersed in film from all over the Americas while studying Public Relations at SJSU’s School of Journalism and Mass Communications.
Between classes, I also interned at a Silicon Valley startup. I learned how to code there, market online, and copywrite ads.
After finishing the PR program in 2009, I helped launch a spin off film festival with a group of friends where I contribute from time to time.
Those formative years manifested my passion for helping businesses grow at all levels. I now work with clients in the arts and sciences at agencies and at my own communications label Surge Public Relations.
